Not sure why he says "nose", but otherwise the news anchors do say this is a whale shark, not vicious, and filter feeders, which is representing the situation appropriately because this is a massive animal; such animals do not need to want to eat you to cause serious injury because you get too close and annoy them such as by riding on them via dorsal fin.

Snorkeling or diving with a whale shark is on my bucket list and not in a glorified fish tank like the Georgia Aquarium. Even in Belize and Honduras you aren't allowed to fark with the whale sharks, how is it that it's permitted here?
